Pick-by-Light

Pick-by-Light

... is a process whereby the removal of parts is controlled by light signals. By this method, the error rate compared to a document-guided removal can be significantly reduced. At the same time, the picking speed is increased, since the removal compartments are easily detected even from a greater distance. This means that even low-qualified employees can be meaningfully integrated into a high-quality order picking process.

Variant: Order of component removal is relevant

Assembly order is started

A light signal indicates which component is needed first from which shelf compartment

Different quantities are displayed either in different colors or via a graphical display

The component is being picked

The removal is confirmed on the shelf compartment via the touch sensor

The component will be assembled or packed li>

Meanwhile, the light signal for the next required component lights up on the shelf

This one is picked, etc.

The order has been processed by confirmation of delivery of the last component

Variant: Order of component removal is irrelevant

Assembly order is started

Light signals indicate which components are required from which shelf compartments

Different quantities are displayed either in different colors or via a graphical display

The removal can be done for all components in a single shelf run

Confirmation of the removal takes place either via the touch sensors on the shelf or centrally for all components at the assembly or picking station
